|
| | | ARIZONA: LAST SEASON: 37-30-15, 89 points. Ninth overall in Western
Conference.
COACH: Dave Tippett, fifth season with Arizona, 156-96-42; In
10th NHL season as coach, 427-252-107.
ADDED: C Sam Gagner, C Joe Vitale, RW B.J. Crombeen, G Devan
Dubnyk.
LOST: RW Radim Vrbata, C Mike Ribeiro, D Derek Morris, LW Paul
Bissonnette, G Thomas Greiss.
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Antoine Vermette. As Ribeiro struggled late
last season, Vermette surged to the forefront as Arizona's top
center. He led the Coyotes with 24 goals last season and is a
superb two-way player - a perfect fit for Tippett's
defense-first system. A bigger season could be on the horizon as
the Coyotes lean on him more.
OUTLOOK: The Coyotes should contend for a playoff spot in the
Western Conference. Arizona lost captain Shane Doan for 12 games
due to Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and goalie Mike Smith was
out the final 10 games with a knee injury. Even with the
injuries, the Coyotes finished two points out of the West's
final playoff spot. Stay relatively healthy and get back to
their defensive ways, they might be in the mix again this
season. | | ANAHEIM: LAST SEASON: 51-24-7, won Pacific Division. Lost to Chicago
Blackhawks in Western Conference finals.
COACH: Bruce Boudreau (fifth season, eighth NHL season).
ADDED: D Kevin Bieksa, F Carl Hagelin, F Chris Stewart, F Shawn
Horcoff, F Mike Santorelli, G Anton Khudobin.
LOST: F Matt Beleskey, D Francois Beauchemin, F Emerson Etem, F
Kyle Palmieri, D James Wisniewski.
PLAYER TO WATCH: D Hampus Lindholm. In his third season with the
Ducks, the 21-year-old Swede could be ready to become one of the
NHL's elite defensemen. After contributing 10 points and major
minutes during last season's playoff run, the smart, tireless
puck-mover will have major responsibilities this winter in
Beauchemin's absence.
OUTLOOK: The Ducks are a popular preseason pick to win their
first title since 2007. Anaheim has an enviable mix of veteran
stars in their prime and up-and-coming talent, and they've
improved by one playoff round in each of the past three seasons.
With no real question areas and an added urgency after last
season's painful Game 7 loss to Chicago at home, the door to a
championship is wide open for Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Ryan
Kesler. |

*Coyotes-Ducks Preview* =======================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Arizona (2-0-0) at Anaheim (0-1-1), 10:30 p.m. EDT
While the Arizona Coyotes are cautiously optimistic about their early success, the Anaheim Ducks don't seem too concerned with a slow start.
In danger of opening with three straight losses for the first time in five seasons, the Ducks try to prevent the visiting Coyotes from their first 3-0-0 start in more than a decade Wednesday night.
Coming off a miserable 56-point season, the Coyotes (2-0-0) have ridden goaltender Mike Smith to a solid early showing. After recording an NHL-high 42 losses and a career-worst 3.16 goals-against average in 2014-15, Smith has stopped all but two of the 69 shots he's faced - against Los Angeles and Pittsburgh on back-to-back nights.
The only time the Coyotes opened with three straight wins since relocating to Arizona in 1996 was in 2003-04. The only time Smith has won his first three starts in 10 seasons was 2010-11 with Tampa Bay.
"It's two games," Smith told the NHL's official website. "I hope to continue the good play. It's nice, but more importantly we've played better as a team and we're doing a lot of good things in front of me. It starts there."
The Coyotes have killed all eight penalties through the first two games and held a 39-28 shots advantage in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Penguins.
Despite going 0 for 7 on the power play, Phoenix has had five players score its six goals. Touted prospect Jordan Martinook recorded his first in 10 career games Saturday.
"It's incredible to have an impact on the team, that's what I want to accomplish every night," Martinook said. "Some nights it's not going to be scoring goals, but when you get to score a goal it's pretty special."
The Ducks (0-1-1) have managed only a goal from defenseman Sami Vatanen through two games, failing to record 30 shots either time. However, Anaheim isn't panicking while trying to avoid dropping its first three games for the first time since 2010-11.
"I think we're doing things the right way now," said Vatanen, who scored a career-high 12 goals in 67 games last season. "The season is long, so we're going the right way."
Anaheim has only had three power-play chances, and though its 56 shots are less than desirable, the effort can't be denied. Both coach Bruce Boudreau and his players felt the team took a step in the right direction with Monday's 2-1 shootout loss to Vancouver.
"At times, we were all over them," defenseman Kevin Bieksa said. "I don't think the shot total dictated the pressure in their end. We didn't get enough shots on net, but nonetheless, I thought we controlled the game for the most part."
Anaheim stars Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf each look to avoid going without a point through the opening three games for the first time in four seasons.
Getzlaf had two goals and two assists in five games against the Coyotes last season, and he's helped Anaheim go 8-0-2 in the past 10 meetings. Both Arizona wins in that span came in shootouts last season, when the Ducks' Frederik Andersen started all five matchups and posted a 1.16 GAA. Oliver Ekman-Larsson had no points in those games despite leading Arizona with 43 last season.
Andersen has stopped 66 of 69 shots this season.
Smith is 1-5-1 with a 2.79 GAA in his last seven starts against the Ducks.
